Can I automate NotebookLM?
Short answer
NotebookLM has no automation of its own and no public consumer API. NotebookLM Ultra Exporter adds browser-side automation: rules that react to tags and finished audio, workflows that chain questions, notes and Studio generation, and scheduled imports. They run in your browser while Chrome is open. Free includes 1 rule and 1 workflow.
What to know
- Everything uses your own signed-in session and your NotebookLM quotas.
- It is not a cloud service: nothing runs when the browser is closed.
- Start with one rule and watch its run history before adding more.
Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.
Free or Pro?
The basics are free; the advanced options listed on this page need Ultra Exporter Pro. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
Can it generate an Audio Overview every week?
